And also it was not made from Dante, it was made  for him. As the wiki itself states, " Rebellion once belonged to Dante's father,  the Dark Knight Sparda, and was given to Dante as a keepsake. He uses it as his primary weapon while exploring the  Temen-ni-gru , but after his first battle with his brother  Vergil , Dante is impaled with the blade, with his blood inadvertently awakening the blade along with his demonic powers, and granting him access to  Devil Trigger ." It wasgiven to him, but was Sparda's  first. Therefore, he did not primarily make it for Dante, rather it was his and gave it to him. One thing that does go in your favor, however, is the fact that it is 'awakened' by Dante's blood when impaled, but this is al that your theory stands on.

This is a fun debate. I didn't think this would happen, given my invisibility to most other than staff, and I'm glad that I get to see what others have to say about theories and their thoughts about such theories. :D
